Paris n.d. (circa 1954), photograph :17,3x12,2cm ; leaf : 24x18,2cm.
Original silver print photograph of Nicolas de Staël's atelier by Denise Colomb.
Intimate view of the painter's atelier, 7 rue Gauguet in Paris, taken one year before his death. In the background is one of his paintings from his famous series Flowers (1952-1953).
Taken by Denise Colomb, great portraitist of the 20th century known for her portraits of Antonin Artaud, Giacometti, Picasso, Soulages and Miro in their studios.
“It is said that his workshop was the cave of a palaeontological potter. With sediment, layers of paleo... A crucible, a large material well, riddled with pigments, paintbrushes, pots of plastered trowels, buckets, rags. In a strong smell of turpentine. A workshop covered, soiled, stained with dirt, with masonry clay. Its wingspan, its strength, its topsail height springs into this crater of Vesuvius. Slightly disoriented, he leans, he pours. To paint, for him, is to be prey to vertigo, to unpredictable bifurcations of accident, of chance. (Patrick Grainville, Les Yeux de Milos)
